| Research Abstract |
Recently, enamel erosion attracts attention by changing the food custom. Enamel erosion is different from the dental caries. Dental caries is produced by bacteria, but erosion is produced without bacteria. The first erosive tooth ware is not diagnosed by visual examination. In the clinical situation, most patients visit a dental clinic with severe enamel erosion. If it is possible to detect an early stage of enamel erosion, it may be possible to preventive enamel erosion. Moreover, it is possible to promote the oral health. Based on this study, it may be possible to detect an early stage of dental erosion by optical method.
